South Carolina: S244 – Faux Tort Reform? (Donald Trump, Jr gets involved and calls it a "complete disaster")

We are all about education … we think #ReOrg2025 is going to be an eye-opening event for many new (over the past 4 years) MAGA America First conservatives … and we are seeing (similar to our fight over “real” school choice) a NEW legislative battle brewing over what is being called by some as TORT REFORM.

Conservative typically fall for the “dog whistle” red meat issues of school choice, pro-life, judicial reform … and things like TORT REFORM. But, The People are waking up … and folks are saying “not so fast on S244”. (See Bill HERE.)

Remember … as we teach … all of this is not a battle between R vs D … this is a battle between the “establishment elite” in both those parties vs. THE PEOPLE … and it seems like THE PEOPLE get the shaft every time (at least before President TRUMP entered the equation).

Donald Trump, Jr.

Our initial interest was peaked when DONALD TRUMP, JR. made a “tweet” about this new SC legislation saying …

“This bill seems like a complete disaster. Hopefully the legislature gets smart and strikes this down!“

– Donald Trump, Jr., 2/11/2025

And our radar really went off yesterday when it was revealed in the Post & Courier that SC Senate “Republicans” were launching a SIX FIGURE ad campaign in support of S 244. Hmmmmm … now we are really interested!

And “who” is leading this effort for TORT REFOM? None other than the Nikki Haley endorsing lawyer legislator (do we like them?) SC Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey (R – Edgefield). And “what” is Senator Massey’s top client? Reportedly, the insurance carrier Allstate.

And “where” is the SIX FIGURE … reportedly $250,000 …

Unfortunately, most South Carolinians aren't even paying attention. Fortunately Don Jr. is. I don't think he can fix this problem for us, but he has identified it for us. Maybe if we contacted our Senators and let them know that we know about it and that we oppose it, maybe they will too.

Let's help out Don Jr. on this. What do you say!

Could you lay it out simply ?
After reading the article, I still don’t know what the issue(s) is\are.
I read the bill and now wish someone could lay it out in simple terms what it exactly does or doesn’t does.

I agree. There's not enough hours in the day to keep track of all the insane libtard legislation being thrown at us. If the RINOs are for it, it's probably a good idea to oppose it. I trust Jeff Davis at mySCGOP.com. Another analysis from a repubtable SC policy organization: https://www.scpolicycouncil.org/analysis_south_carolina_s_unfair_civil_liability_system

thanks.
I get it. Load it up to the point where it’s unmanageable...like the FEDs continuing resolution crappola...

“S.244 is a lengthy piece of legislation that addresses a number of civil liability issues, including liquor liability, construction defects, medical malpractice, and various insurance regulatory reforms. Given the bill’s scope and far-reaching implications, separating the bill by subject matter would ensure each receives the deliberation it deserves. “

All you need to know is South Carolina state government is government of business, by business, for business. The bill is a bribe to encourage insurance companies to continue to do business in the Palmetto state.

Conservatives are pro business, but we should not be pro crony capitalism that hurt people and cause Democrats to be elected.
